The Holy Court Came Under Attack? Soul Tools Show Their Edge
The next morning, the sunrise painted the ancient city walls red.
Dugu Bo stretched his limbs and looked at the completely revitalized team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, his heart filled with emotion.
This trip to Spirit City not only brought them the glory of the championship, but also the confidence to change the landscape of the continent.
"Let's go, it's time to return to Heaven Dou City."
Lin Sheng stretched and looked northwards; he was already very much looking forward to it...
Let's go back and see what the Holy Court is like now.
After experiencing Lin Sheng's Sword intent, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin naturally traveled together, secretly plotting how to further deepen their cooperation with the Holy Court.
Inside that spacious, almost luxurious, specially made carriage...
A bizarre and subtle scene unfolded once again.
Lin Sheng looked helplessly at the scene inside the carriage. The familiar faces of Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ye Lingling were naturally present...
What troubled him the most was...
The eldest prince Xue Qinghe, who should have been sitting in the royal carriage of the Heaven Dou Empire, actually squeezed in with an air of nonchalance.
Qian Renxue was in an excellent mood at the moment.
Under the guise of discussing state affairs, she brazenly sat down next to Lin Sheng.
Last time, she couldn't get in because of her status, but this time she's determined that no one will be able to drive her away from Lin Sheng.
"Lin Sheng, what are you thinking about?"
Qian Renxue asked softly, a strange light flickering in her beautiful eyes.
"What I'm thinking about is that when we get back to the Holy Court, it would be best if they gave me some surprises."
Lin Sheng smiled, but a sense of anticipation lingered in his heart.
The twenty top-tier Soul Engineer rewarded by the system... during the days he was away...
Just how much trouble can they cause to the Holy Court?
"Now that I've reached the Soul Saint realm, they should be becoming Level 7 Soul Engineer by now, right?"
Two days later, in Heaven Dou City, at the Holy Court headquarters.
The once silent ruins of the Strength Clan have now been transformed into a semi-mechanized fortress filled with metallic textures.
Runes shimmering with Soul Power could be faintly seen on the towering walls.
However, this peace was completely shattered today.
"Boom--!"
"You people of the Holy Court, come out here and pay with your lives!"
A thunderous roar echoed at the end of the street.
Immediately afterwards, the earth trembled, and three menacing groups of people approached in a triangular formation.
The three leading figures were all composed elderly men.
Niu Gao, the Defense Clan Yu clan, was as tall and imposing as a mountain, and his eyes were bloodshot at this moment.
He came to Heaven Dou City a few days ago to visit his old friend Tai Tan and catch up...
To his surprise, he was greeted by a completely transformed wasteland!
Upon hearing that the Strength Clan had been massacred, he sent a letter overnight, summoning Bai He of the Speed Clan and Yang Wudi of the Breaking Clan.
"Old Rhino, calm down."
Bai He's brows were furrowed, his movements as nimble as a swallow, but the cold glint in his eyes was equally piercing.
"Although that old Tai Tan has a terrible temper, the Strength Clan is quite powerful. To be able to wipe them out overnight, the Holy Court is no ordinary organization."
"Whether it's simple or not, you'll only know after you kill him!"
Yang Wudi, leaning on the Soul Breaking Spear, was like a sharp blade about to be drawn, exuding a murderous aura.
"Our four affiliated clans are of one heart and one mind. Tai Tan is dead. If the Holy Court cannot provide an explanation, we will use this entire mansion today to mourn the souls of the Strength Clan!"
As the three approached, the heavy metal doors of the Holy Court creaked open slowly.
However, what appeared before everyone was not the massive army they had expected.
"..."
Twenty men and women dressed in silver-gray, form-fitting outfits walked out in unison.
Their expressions were indifferent.
Each person carried a large metal backpack that shimmered with eerie blue sparks on their back, and held a strangely shaped tubular instrument in their hands.
"Just these twenty people?"
Niu Gao was stunned for a moment, then burst into wild laughter.
"How utterly arrogant! I'll make you pay for this old gorilla's death!!!"
Yang Wudi's eyes narrowed; he sensed an unprecedented sense of oppression emanating from these twenty people.
That wasn't a suppression of Soul Power...
Rather, it was an aura of extremely precise and calm killing intent.
"This is the last warning."
The leading Soul Engineer captain coldly raised the Level 5 Soul Guidance Ray Gun in his hand.
"This is the Holy Court. Trespassers will be killed."
"How dare you speak so arrogantly! Die!"
With a roar, Niu Gao Gao's eight Soul Ring pulsed, and he transformed into a gigantic plate-armored rhinoceros.
It charged forward with overwhelming force.
"You're asking for it! Gravity Compression Cannon, fire!"
Following the captain's command, the twenty Soul Engineer moved with lightning speed.
Ten of them quickly crouched down, their backpacks extending large metal supports to stabilize their bodies, while the other ten pulled out several red-glowing spheres from their waists and threw them to the ground.
"Boom--!"
The sphere exploded upon landing, but without any sparks; instead, it caused an extremely terrifying distortion of gravity.
Even someone as strong as Niu Gao, the moment he rushed into this area...
His legs suddenly sank downwards, as if he were being crushed by a massive mountain, and his movements instantly became sluggish!
"What kind of Soul Skill is this? No, there's no Soul Ring fluctuation!"
Bai He cried out in alarm, and was about to teleport to the rescue when he saw the Soul Engineer opposite him pull the trigger in unison.
"Boom--!"
A hundred dark blue rays poured down like a torrential rain.
Yang Wudi brandished the Soul Breaking Spear, transforming it into an impenetrable defensive circle, but the rays from it made his hands go numb.
He was horrified to discover that these rays attacked at an extremely high frequency and did not require the Soul Master to charge up for a long time at all!
"Get out of the way!"
Just as the three were locked in a fierce battle, a sickening buzzing sound once again emanated from within the Holy Court.
Two enormous Soul Cannon, fixed to the foundation, slowly adjusted their muzzles, and deep purple light gathered wildly within the cannon barrels.
Those were weapons that these twenty people forcibly replicated using the resources of the Holy Court over the past two days.
"Boom--!"
"Since you refuse to leave, then stay forever."
Two enormous beams of light stretched across the long street, scorching the air in their wake.
Yang Wudi and his two companions were terrified.
They barely managed to avoid the core strike area, but even so, the aftershocks sent most of their disciples flying.
In an instant, blood and flesh flew everywhere!
Yang Wudi's hand holding the Soul Breaking Spear trembled slightly as he looked at the twenty expressionless, seemingly tireless mechanical assassins.
A feeling of despair washed over me.
"What... exactly are you monsters?"
Just as the Soul Engineer were preparing to launch a second volley to completely eliminate these three old troublemakers.
A streak of light, as fleeting as a glimpse of a swan, fell from the distant horizon.
Accompanied by an extreme Sword intent that seemed capable of freezing the soul, the clamor of the entire battlefield instantly subsided.
Lin Sheng, dressed in pristine white, slowly landed as the twenty Soul Engineer knelt on one knee in unison.
"Metropolitan."
The voices of twenty people converged, resounding throughout Heaven Dou City.
Lin Sheng turned his head and looked at the three disheveled, terrified old men, a playful smile curving his lips.
"What, is the Strength Clan too lonely on their journey to the underworld? Are you in such a hurry to keep them company?"
